This research performs an analysis of the concept of public servant, describes and differentiates the civil
services and career services professionals, and makes a documental diagnosis of the state of professional
career system in Mexico. The operation of the professional service career in the Legal Department of the
President of Mexico is also diagnosed, using a documental analysis and focus interviews with those
responsible for its administration and with aspiring candidates. From the above, a lack of consistency of
evaluation instruments was found, thus a new competency model for public servants in Mexico is proposed
with the aim of assessing and ensuring consistency with the guiding principles.
